D                Bm C#m D 
  When you drive a      nail

through all that's good 
D        Bm C#m D 
  the carpen----ter becomes 
    E   A 
the wood If my concentration 
            E 
sounds like wreckage 
             D 
it's cause I got a  
           A 
new feeling every  
       E 
thirty seconds

D        Bm C#m D             E 
  We put a      monkey up in space 
D            Bm C#m D             E 
  and I know e------xactly how he felt 
A 
  Looking at the latticework of 
 E    D 
stars missing his brothers back 
A                    E 
home. Too much for a postcard 




[Refrão]
A 
Mercy have we gone too 
D    E 
far? Who put all these  
             A 
criminals in charge? 
         D 
Did they win or just  
             F#m 
hold all the cards? 
    D(hold)              A(hold) 
I'm leaving my place in LA

I'm gonna live in my car

verse 3: 
D            Bm C#m D 
Surgery girls 
           E D 
from the USO Flown farm 
     Bm C#m D         E 
fresh        pure as snow 
A 
  Hand me that flask 
             E 
I just can't take it 
            D 
She had the eyes of 
my mom but she was  
A 
turning me on 
       E 
Now I'm fading 


verse 4: 
      D(hold) 
I got duct tape all 
          E 
around my heart 
        D             Bm C#m D 
I got a satellite dish 
               E 
to julienne my mind 
A 
  Two-hundred channels 
          E 
nothing's on but those  
D             A 
  network news can make 
              E 
your eyes see blonde 



[Refrão]
A 
Mercy have we lost our way? 
 S 
(have we lost our way?) 
    E 
Did we come down the 
                A 
ladder from the apes? 
(Oh those lonely apes) 
         D 
Will the beard of the 
             F#m 
prophet be assuaged? 
      D(hold)
I was putting my shit  
       A(hold) 
in the car when 
            E
the copters came

Verse 5: 
D          Bm C#m D 
  They put a      monkey in 
    E          D    Bm C#m 
the white house and his 
D            E 
uncle in the movies 
A 
  Now the real monkey 
        E 
wants a re-count 
        D 
He just couldn't 
believe they were 
    A 
his own family  
          E 
with those values
